EIDAHL has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Patrick M. Barr-Melej Professor of History Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT EIDAHL, BRAD T., Ph.D., December 2017, History Writing the Opposition: Power, Coercion, Legitimacy and the Press in Pinochet's Chile Director of Dissertation: Patrick M. Barr-Melej This dissertation examines the struggle between Chile’s opposition press and the dictatorial regime of Augusto Pinochet Ugarte (1973-1990). It argues that due to Chile’s tradition of a pluralistic press and other factors, and in bids to strengthen the regime’s legitimacy, Pinochet and his top officials periodically demonstrated considerable flexibility in terms of the opposition media’s ability to publish and distribute its products. However, the regime, when sensing that its grip on power was slipping, reverted to repressive measures in its dealings with opposition-media outlets. Meanwhile, opposition journalists challenged the very legitimacy Pinochet sought and further widened the scope of acceptable opposition under difficult circumstances. Ultimately, such resistance contributed to Pinochet’s defeat in the 1988 plebiscite, initiating the return of democracy.

The following list documents all the parties, candidates and elections contained in the dataset. The list includes the name of the party or (candidate) alliance in the original language and in English, the party/alliance abbreviation, the name of the presidential candidate (if this applies) as well as the corresponding party identification number. In the case of an alliance, it also documents the member parties it comprises. Within the list of alliance members, parties are represented only by their id and abbreviation if they are also part of the general party list. If the composition of an alliance has changed between elections this change is reported as well. If parliamentary and presidential elections occur at roughly the same time (not necessarily on the same date but within a time frame of one or two months) parties and candidates usually run on the same manifesto. In these cases we report the party/alliance that backed a candidate and the candidate’s name. The same information is provided for presidential elections. If a parliamentary election occurred independently from a presidential election we only report parties and alliances but no candidates. Furthermore, the list records renames of parties and alliances. It shows whether a party has split from another party or a number of parties has merged and indicates the name (and the party id if it exists) of this split or merger parties.

First and foremost, I would like to share my deepest gratitude with Professor Steven Volk. Since I first took his class, “Dirty Wars and Democracy” in the fall of my sophomore year, Professor Volk has not only been my professor and advisor, soundly guiding and challenging me to look critically at the discipline of history, but also my mentor. Over the years, Professor Volk has shared with me his boundless knowledge of Latin America’s myriad histories as well as his personal ties to Chile and the study of memory within Chilean historiography. Professor Volk has propelled and encouraged my interest in Chilean history and has invested greatly in the realization of this project. His dedicated readings of this thesis, constructive criticism, and editing have undoubtedly sharpened the analysis and taught me a great deal about what it takes to interpret historical data and communicate findings.

  • Briefing European Parliamentary Research Service
    At a glance May 2015 Uruguay: Political parties Uruguay has the longest tradition of democratic stability in Latin America. The two-party system prevailing since the early 19th Century has gradually evolved into a multiparty system, with the emergence in 1971 of a major third force, the Broad Front. This party broke the National and Colorado parties' domination in the 2004 elections and has been in power since 2005. Background Uruguay is the most enduring democracy in Latin America, with an institutionalised two-party system (National (PN) and Colorado (PC) parties) that dominated the political arena from the 19th Century (after independence from Spain) until recently. With the emergence of the Broad Front, and especially after the 1989 elections, it has evolved towards a multiparty system. Thus, since 1990 most presidents have had to negotiate agreements to build coalitions or legislative majorities. Economic stagnation and rising political authoritarianism at the end of the 1960s led to a military dictatorship from 1973 to 1985. From 1985, Presidents Sanguinetti (PC, 1985-1990, 1995-2000) and Lacalle Herrera (PN, 1990-1995) gradually restored political stability. In 2005 this two-party domination was ended by President Tabaré Vázquez and his Broad Front, which has been in power ever since (with President José Mújica from 2010 to 2015, and now with the re-election of Tabaré Vázquez, who was sworn in on 1 March 2015). Political and electoral system Uruguay is a presidential republic. The President is elected for a five-year term, with no possibility of immediate re-election for a second consecutive term.

Abstract Our understanding of the international and transnational history of Chile during the Unidad Popular (UP) government has expanded considerably since the early 2010s. But what has new research contributed to our understanding of events in Chile and Chile’s significance in a global context? Examining the historiographical advances and questions that have driven scholarship in recent years, this article argues that international and transnational studies that focus attention on Chile and Chileans can offer new perspectives on the rise and fall of the UP.
